Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2237127A1] A target route setting support system for supporting a user in setting a target route for a robot autonomously moving along the target route is equipped with a transiting area/starting-terminal point recognizing unit 110, a route candidate generating unit 120, and a determining unit 130. The transiting area/starting-terminal point recognizing unit 110 recognizes a node or a link connecting the nodes together designated by the user via a remote controller 300 as a designated transiting area, the target position as a terminal point, and a departure position as a starting point. The route candidate generating unit 120 generates a moving route candidate connecting the terminal point and the starting point so that the designated transiting area is included at least in a part of the moving route candidate. The determining unit 130 determines the level or existence or nonexistence of a possibility of contact between the robot R and an object in the case where the robot R is made to move along the moving route candidate, in light of information concerning the position of the object and the existence range, and output the determination result via an output device. With such configuration, a system which is capable of making the robot move along the target route while transiting the points desired by the user as much as possible, to the extent that robot avoids contact with the object, is provided.
